Ancient needles meet modern surgery: can acupuncture calm blood pressure spikes?

NCT ID NCT05720884

Summary

This small pilot study tested whether acupuncture treatments given before surgery could help keep blood pressure stable during a laparoscopic hysterectomy. Thirty-five patients scheduled for this surgery were randomly assigned to receive either real acupuncture or a placebo treatment twice before their operation. Researchers then closely monitored their blood pressure and heart rate during the procedure to see if the acupuncture made a difference.
